Don't blame Rahul Gandhi for Congress reverses: Jayanthi Natarajan

"Congress is not a one man show," Jayanthi Natarajan said.

New Delhi: Do not blame Rahul Gandhi for the Congress reverses in the Assembly polls, Union Minister Jayanthi Natarajan suggested today maintaining that it was a "collective failure" and the party will introspect.

"Congress is not a one man show...It is a collective defeat and collective failure," the Congress leader said dismissing suggestions that the Congress Vice President was to be blamed for the poor show.

"We will introspect on our losses, we will see where we have gone wrong," she said, adding, "...in 1998-99 when we won state elections and lost the Lok Sabha...in 2003 BJP actually won the Assembly polls and lost the Lok Sabha," she said.

Natarajan's comments came as BJP is heading for landslide victory in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, while wresting power in Delhi.
